Readings for CS348B: Image Synthesis Techniques

Papers and articles available on the web will not
be handed out in class. Pointers to the online versions of
papers are included by the reference. You are expected
to download and print these papers yourselves. One reason for
doing this is that many graphics papers contain pictures
that do not reproduce well when copied.
The
ACM
and
IEEE
Digital Libraries are now available online for Stanford students.
They are a great resource: learn to use them.

Readings not available online will be handed out in class. They will
also be available in the CS348B course handout cabinet in
Gates Rm 377 (the copy room in the graphics wing 3B).

Hint: Reading the material before class will make the lectures much more
understandable!

Comparison of many common acceleration data structures,
including grids, hierarchical grids, adaptive grids,
k-d trees, and oct-trees. A technical paper describing
their results is available from this page.

These last two famous books were written in 1760. Many of the
current ideas about radiometry and photometry can be traced to
Bouguer and Lambert. Lambert is famous for Lambert's Law; he also
developed a formula for the irradiance due to a polygonal source.
Bouguer is famous for introducing the idea of estimating radiant
intensity using the relative distance between a light source and
a standard candle.
